    600 grand goes missing inside the SNP and as far as the BBC is concerned it’s pretty much tumbleweed… someone eats cake in 10 Downing Street and gets the boot.

    Get the picture?

      Well, 600 grand is peanuts to the BBC hence tumbleweed.

      Saudi Arabia’s religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
      In a rare criticism of the kingdom’s powerful “mutaween” police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.

      About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.

      Saudi hospital staff carry a victim of the girl school fire to an ambulance in Mecca
      15 girls died in the blaze and more than 50 others were injured
      According to the al-Eqtisadiah daily, firemen confronted police after they tried to keep the girls inside because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas (black robes) required by the kingdom’s strict interpretation of Islam.

      One witness said he saw three policemen “beating young girls to prevent them from leaving the school because they were not wearing the abaya”.

      Don’t those photos just show the rather obvious, that on the same day, at precisely the same moment you can have a massive difference in temperature depending on the immediate surroundings?

      Does it not also show how much difference where you place your thermometer and how you take your readings…in the shade or in bright sunlight, over grass or over tarmac, etc… not to mention what kind of thermometer you use to measure the local temperature can make?

      Considerably more of a difference than 1.5 oC, perhaps?

      How many ‘weather stations’ recording ‘climate’ are now located in urban heat sinks, and how many in unspoilt countryside? There are a lot less measurements taken than there used to be, and my feeling is that many which have been lost were those out in the sticks… and, given the ‘development’ of this country in recent decades, how many which were in open country are now in built up areas?

      Wonder how that computes with measured, ‘average’ increases in temperature and ‘global warming’?

    The baby killing industry is on the case – Stella Creasy is up for it as usual and ‘family planning ‘( baby killing ) organisations are on the case .

    I surprised abortion clinics are not calling for more abortions – good for the industry – creates jobs …..

    No doubt the Satanists will want to push the limit to maybe 8 months – a matter of choice ….

    .. meanwhile – Scottish politics has been tippexed out of the news . No speculation of where the fraud inquiry will go – who will be arrested yet – what will be the consequences if the characters are charged ? Nothing ….. can you imagine any other politicians being supported by silence in this way ? Apart from Obama Biden of course – oh yeah – and corruption in the Reich EU ….

    Not the BBC.

    Dozy Lammy wrong again.

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1780006/Labour-Party-Twitter-account-Bernie-Grant-black-MPs-history

    Labour embarrassingly fact-checked by Twitter over inaccurate claim about first black MP
    Elon Musk’s new tweet fact check verification system has caused a headache for Labour, after users were quick to call out the party’s inaccurate claims.

    The Labour Party has sparked a row about transparency in politics after putting out a video claiming the very first black MPs were elected 36 years ago for the Labour Party.

    A glossy video promoting its “Bernie Grant Leadership Programme” saw Dawn Butler and shadow foreign secretary David Lammy reminiscing about Labour’s history of black parliamentary representation.
    However, the accompanying tweet from the party said: “It has been 36 years since the first black MPs were elected
    The claim quickly prompted keen-eyed history-loving users to accuse the party of falling short on their historical knowledge.

    According to records, the first-ever black MP was elected in 1767 – 220 years before Labour’s claim.
    James Townsend was a mixed raced man, who served as an MP from 1767 until 1774 and from 1782 before dying in office in 1787.
    While the now-defunct Whig party saw the first two Bame MPs elected, the Tories followed quickly behind, seeing their first mixed-race MP Ralph Benson elected in 1812, followed shortly after by John Stewart in 1832.
    PPE lecturer Adrian Hilton said: Black MPs didn’t begin with Labour. The first were: James Townsend (Whig, 1772), John Stewart (Tory, 1832), Henry Redhead Yorke (Whig, 1841) and Peter McLagan (Liberal, 1865). Unless, of course, Labour considers these to be somehow the ‘wrong’ type or only ‘superficially black’”.

    Covid inquiry: The questions we really want answers to
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65843811

    ‘I asked a range of people who were in the eye of the Covid storm what one question each of them most wants answered.’

    Yet another BBC article where they cherry pick the questions they want to suit their bigger agenda and thus make the entire article worthless. This is another of the BBC’s latest tricks : taking the opinions of suitable individuals then weaving whole stories around them as if they are proven facts.

    Top of the heap ?. These two:

    _130010731_lobbyandfemi_supplied_2.jpg.webp

    ‘Lobby Akinnola wants to ensure the death of his father, Femi, and others were not in vain’

    Black lives only matter to the BBC when they can be used for the agenda. If they stab each other in Londonistan, they are ‘unhelpful’ for the anti-white/anti-right agenda and so are brushed under the carpet.

    ‘A crucial part of that will be looking at why people belonging to ethnic minorities were at such greater risk. There is no “physiological reason” why they had worse outcomes, Lobby says. Instead, it is linked to society – the jobs and housing conditions people belonging to ethnic minorities experience.’

    Now this is not the result of any actual facts : it is the opinion of ‘Lobby’ – a young black man who we have no idea about.

    You missed the real reason out there BBC+Lobby and it’s just one word : culture.

    They live in their own sub-culture. If white man says jump, they squat and call him racist. I remember one reason being that they thought the government could track them if they had the vaccine – and we all know why they were so scared about that.

    Another classic BBC piece which is as far away from proper journalism as you can get. They all seem to be competeing with each other to see who can cram the most empathy into each article.

    How Starmer could make things a bit worse edition

    As per usual – it’s all outrage, devastation and conviction from the left – while from the right we get: Rishi in furious attack on Bojo (The Sun)

    How dare we let them come over here – with snow still on their boots?

    No doubt inadvertantly, the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper this morning brings us a rather strong argument for more stringent checks on those supposed refugees arriving here prior to inviting them into our country: The Russian ‘agent’ living in UK with his family… thanks to Homes for Ukraine… Alleged Russian intelligence asset is living in London and his family used the British Government’s refugee scheme to join him

    We await the media spotlight shone as brightly on all those ISIS – and the like – assets arriving daily and gifted refugee status.

    Meanwhile, since Russophobia is the permissible sin, the youthful audience demographic-aimed ‘i’ newspaper can go off effing and blinding about this chap’s right to be here: ‘How the **** is he in UK? FBI concerns revealed

    Well, to be fair the ‘i’ exclaims their outrage by proxy of the US FBI – which is rather fitting on the subject of the Russia v Ukraine/USA/UK/FBI/CIA by proxy war

    There’s more mainstream media brazen brass-necked shameless cant – but from t’other side of politics, so to speak, in the Daily Mail today.

    Offering a supposed helping hand to drowning manlet Rishi Sunak, the Mail frontpage purports to draw back the curtain on: A vision of Keir’s Britain – one notes that à la the Labour-supporting Mirror we’re all now apparently abbreviating the stuffed-shirt personality by-pass Sir’s name to the simple affectionate one-syllable – only his mother could love him – initial moniker ‘Keir

    616 cross Channel in a day – the most this year while Labour oppose crackdown on small boats… As Just Stop Oil cause havoc again, Starmer’s MPs vote against new powers to limit protests – threatens the Mail – but wait a moment… seemingly unstoppable illegal and moreover legal hyper immigration and green eco nutter nonsense – this is not just a vision of a year or two down the downward political track to perdition – but the every day reality of Rishi’s Britain – here and now.

    All the Mail warns us is how Starmer could make things a bit worse. There’s a general election slogan for you Rishi – you can have that for free.

    The Telegraph habitually whistles in the wind and delivers to us the odd rare shred of conservative common sense counter to the prevailing reams of left-leaning column inches… nay yards: Davina means well but menopause isn’t a sickness – Celia Walden making her point most politely – only to be comprehensively ignored, no doubt.

    The left show us how you properly fight the culture war – take no prisoners and with all guns blazing: Outrage as woman jailed for abortion after legal cut-off… ‘I am devastated for the woman in this case… the conviction serves no one’ (The Guardian there more than happy to quote Mandu Reid of the Women’s Equality party) – do note the Gruan lead headline story suddenly, mind you, able to properly deploy and define the word ‘woman’

    Toady
    One of those ‘fixed ‘ 0810 interviews where the speakers are a retired judge and a red labour wimmin MP – Diana Johnson . The subject ? Killing babies . Call it Abortion if it sounds better .

    Anyway – there wasn’t much of a debate Diana says if a law such as the offences against persons act 1861 says someone killing an unborn baby should go to prison – the law is old and should be repealed . The 1967 abortion / baby killing act is old as well so that should go .

    So Diane wants unborn babies to be killed more easily – and anything old to be ‘gone ‘ too .. so if you are getting on a bit … maybe it’s time to go … think of the NHS . ..

    Diane wants to decriminalise baby killing – maybe issue Fixed Penalties for self about babies at 8 months – I understand the criminal case which fired this debate – the baby was at 8 months when it was killed ….

    Don’t get me wrong – as a chap I don’t have direct skin in the game .. but the way liberals dress up baby killing really does point to their amorality ….

    .. I’m sure I’d go on a list of ‘unapproved ‘( right 77 Brigade ?) to be rounded up for the cattle trucks when the time comes … …’society will be better without you ‘… now a piece from Mariana and Verify ….

    BTW – the judge just said he wouldn’t have banged the mother up – but someone did …

            I’ve not heard skin colour mentioned
            but normally police hold back if the suspect is non white

    As @Fed trailed at 6:14pm the BBC has changed its face of Wimbledon
    Paul Homewood quotes the Telegraph article

    A YouTube filmmaker with a passion for climate change and sustainability documentaries will be the most prominent new face of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage next month when Clare Balding takes over from Sue Barker as the main presenter.

    Qasa Alom, who was a BBC reporter during last summer’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, has a background in current affairs as well as sport and will replace Balding as host of the Today at Wimbledon highlights show, which she has anchored since 2015

    According to his website, he has a “keen passion” for environmental conservation and was a host at Cop26 and Cop27

      People with passions really have helped objective news entities like the BBC traditionally.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – is this right or is it a load of hogwash?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/65874444
    Ignore the Climate Change aspect and the lurid title to the article: it just doesn’t ring true to me from what I know of motor sport and the workings of the internal combustion engine.

      BBC, so, going with… porcine cleansing?

      Seems odd they are ‘on’ motorsport still after decades of enthusiastic support and now… Lewis’ baggy bloomers.

      Not my thing but impressive engineering. And I imagine this, plus the thrill and maybe some driving skills attracts the punters. Not the first trans wheel knob twiddler.

      However, the local chavs round here do like their post whatsit banging tune ups, which scares the horses mostly. Might attract a hefty mare of the desperate variety for a bit of rear seat slap and tickle too.. who knows?

      “It is weather George but just not as we (recently) knew it”.

      It is summer at last after a long cold winter and spring.

      Fortunately, the easterly/nor’easterly winds have eased a bit and maybe Europe is getting a little warmer, too, so that should help us stay warm in the UK even though those winds are forecast to pick up speed again as the week progresses.

    “Channel migrants: More than 600 people cross in one day”
    Our so called government should “declare a state of emergency” because we are being invaded and ‘our’ lives are at risk . They did it when COVID hit our shores but slow to do it now .
    Close the borders and start removing illegals. Things are really getting very serious!

    Very often news comes out of investment channels which is not on anyones radar other than the very clever people who seek to maximise gains, or to otherwise protect their clients assets, here is one from this morning telling things about the USA I didn’t have a clue was going on.

    For a start many many have heard of the 7 states now looking to move to a gold backed currency note known as a “Goldback” These notes are now in circulation in these states and contain a sliver of gold to denote their value. They are works of art, well worth looking at, but it demonstrates that even Americans in America have little confidence in their own currency.

    Then there is the issue of a federal purchase tax which currently doesn’t exist, but is left to individual states. Why is this necessary? Because people can’t afford to pay their taxes, and because of the tax strike.

    The Tax Strike, not the first time the US has experienced one of these, but it shows the levels of dissatisfaction with Bidens mal administration of the country it gets worse though

    Cessetion of Union States We now have several counties looking to leave Democrat controlled states, and states like Texas contemplating leaving the union altogether this is an unheard of development.

    The USA is begining to collapse under the evil ideology of Soclialism not surprising as it destroys everything it comes into contact with!

    These are the first small cracks in the dam, but you watch and see if you think what I’m seeing is right.

    Relax folks, the Nottingham incident isn’t that serious. However, if somebody had their orange banner ripped, or a motorist decided to push someone the rozzers would be right on to it.

      ‘Sources have told GB News that the incident is not currently being treated as terrorist related at this early stage.’

      That usually means he is from the religion of peace, but didn’t shout ‘Alan’s Snackbar’ repeatedly while he did it.

      This is another of the monumental double standards we have today. If the far-right do it, they are instantly terrorists. When Muslims do it, it is only ‘terror related’ (note the different, specific wording) when they have definite proof of a link to one of their major terrorist organisations.

      I just saw this:

      ‘I looked out of the window and saw a black guy dressed all in black with a hood and rucksack grappling with some people. It was a girl, and a man or boy she was with – they looked quite young.’

      ‘I saw him stab the lad first and then the woman. It was repeated stabbing – four or five times. The lad collapsed in the middle of the road’

      Oh dear. Not easy for the BBC to sweep this under the carpet like those from Londonistan because everyone else has latched onto it.

      I confidently predict their narrative will switch to be empathy-laden stories about the victims – just like the Syrian immigrant story from France did.

    5 News has appointed Lexi Iles as assistant news editor. Lexi previously served as a reporter at MyLondon and prior to that as regional editor at Nub News.

    Getting your news from 5 just had a real upgrade with the Nub input.
